Some woke archaeologist is trying to warn us that we are being herded.
Well as an archaeologist he should KNOW that we have always ALWAYS been herded.
We are the sheep, the sheeple, herd/mob mentality IS in our DNA.
Every time one is conscripted or drafted one is herded.
We are HERDED every single day by everything that surrounds us: parents, society, school, media and now ALGORITHMS.
In one of my old blogs I was quoting Oscar Wilde:
“Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation" -
What part of 'us' is "us' is one of those sempiternal questions:
Free Will and What Not, Nature vs Nurture etc etc
And then there are those illuminated who THINK they are not herded, they are not the sheeple, they are holier-than-thou, wiser-than-thou, woke, illuminated smart asses of the world who have just fallen in their own little herd.
Some sort of self-righteous cult among all the other self-righteous cults.
WE for sure have fences and boundaries and so many CHAINS we CANNOT see.
As S & G said again:
A man gets tied up to the ground He gives the world its saddest sound Its saddest sound
We are tied by socio-economic chains, geographical chains (closely related to religious chains as well) educational chains
For instance it is nearly impossible nowadays to get the classical education one had in the past with extensive knowledge of past Greek and Latin writers. It is nearly impossible even now to get a university education that is not TAINTED by a billion political agendas and this joke only leads most students CHAINED to enormous debts to repay where they are going to HAVE to resort to slaving away and sell out somewhere to another form of slavery.
So much for free will and free thinking,
PLUS PLUS PLUS nowadays we are completely inundated in this Huxleyan Algorithm which drives most of us insane on the borderline of ADHD. It always reminds me of one of Ani DiFranco's Song:
In a coffee shop in a city
Which is every coffee shop
In every city
On a day which is every day
I picked up a magazine
Which is every magazine
Read a story then I forgot it right away
And they say goldfish have no memory
I guess their lives are much like mine
And the little plastic castle
Is a surprise every time
And it's hard to say if they're happy
But they don't seem much to mind
(Yee-haw)WE ARE A HERD. A herd that rapes and pillages in every war.
A herd that foams at the mouth and gets outraged and stones and lynches at the smallest occasion when our self-righteousness and our hypocritical man-made morality are "offended" A herd that cannot think, that doesn't have the capacity to get beyond war and destruction or even the wisdom to get above self-destruction 8 billion of engineeringly defective beings not as far above the other animals as we think. And to think we are not a herd or just realised we are herded well it is to think that the shadows in the cave are real.
We have been herded in myths for thousands of years and WE STILL ARE.
To think there is such a thing as a HOLY WAR is just HERD mentality to begin with.
To think we are the good guys is herd mentality. To think Us vs Them is herd mentality.
O well I could go on and on and let's not forget that I am part of the herd too. It is funny how we are quick to call others stupid when we are not too high on the intelligence scale ourselves. Maybe in the end we are all lost souls swinging in a fish bowl YEAR after YEAR. So maybe we are not a HERD, Just a Shoal or a School or a WhatNot of Fishes
Funny how in the old days your herd was always the best and your god was always the strongest the good old my daddy is stronger than your daddy After all the original Hebrew God was called Yahweh Sabaoth: The Lord of Hosts The Lord of the Armies And then when you got your ass whipped you had to find some poor excuse why Daddy let you down So to conclude We are HERDED from Day One and constantly after that Day after Day oh we may transfer herd here and then but A HERD IS A HERD IS A HERD
